Seasons 'G'reetings from the 1970s

This holiday card was sent to Packers staff members sometime in the 1970s.

MEARS

The cover features a seasonally-colored rendering of Lambeau Field. Presuming that the stadium actually resembled this rendering at the time, the drawing helps us date the card, as the stadium bowl was completely enclosed beginning with the 1970 season.

Welcome

Welcome to the official blog of the Green Bay Packers Uniform Database, chronicling ninety-plus years of our team looking good while playing well. This started as a zine in 1994, moved online a decade later, and has become a longer-lasting project than anyone could have reasonably expected.

Click on "Uniform Timeline" below for the original Database, a chronological listing of the Packers' uniforms since 1919.
